Sure seems like that's a much better explanation (well, that plus goaltending) than the altitude. In theory, the faceoff rules could make a difference as well, but the Avs are pretty used to losing that battle. |

Looking like Kadri is PROBABLY playing tonight, but he won't be anywhere near 100% according to Bednar. Kuemper is likely in net (based on how they usually practice).

The last change is definitely something that doesn't get talked about unless maybe a guy like Gretzky is chiming in, and I don't pay terribly close attention to it at times since the game is so fluid in that regard. Interesting about Kadri, too... really didn’t expect him back until maybe game 6 or 7, but of course can see why they might try it now with Burakovsky out (I assume). At a certain point, whoever plugs that hole in the lineup might only be out there for 5 minutes anyway. |

And they also looked terrible from the start and with an extra day of rest... it's not like they made it a game for a while and then fell apart. And as DaFace said the other day, that's after the Blues split their first two games in Denver and won game 5 by looking stronger as the game went on. I'd much rather listen to the talking heads analyze line match ups, but you're lucky if there's one segment on that over the course of pregame, intermissions, and post-game. |

As for Kadri, they haven't announced anything, but he was practicing with the 2nd powerplay unit this morning, which would be an odd move if he's not playing. Bednar was, not surprisingly, noncommital. |

Can a subscription to DNVR be added to the annual mod budget for next season?

I'll never understand teams that can a coach after what has, by most measures other than post-season success, been a fantastic season.

Yeah, I know. Just seems odd to me. If the Avs were run by Florida's GM, Bednar would have been canned like 5 times by now.

Now he's two wins away from becoming the first coach to ever win the championship hat trick — ECHL, AHL and Stanley Cup. |
